Budget 2015: Coalition 'to raise personal allowance towards £11k'

[TheCyclingProgrammer]

Doesn't increasing your tax-free allowance mean you CAN "get mo' money from divvies" since the point at which you start paying higher-rate tax moves up accordingly?

With every recent increase in the personal allowance, I'm pretty sure the higher rate threshold has been decreased.

How many council tenants earn more than £60,000?

this just at the £60k cut off.

I would suggest council & Social housing cut off should be at > average wage or at least commercial rent + 20% charged. Or where the household income goes above average. So 3 adults in the house earning £30k they pay 120% of commercial rent.

DCLG says the average tenant renting from a social landlord in England is being subsidised by the taxpayer to the tune of £3,600 a year.
